  • AStraZeneca What about those under 60 who have received the first dose?

The Health Department has opened an investigation to determine the causes of the death of a

65-year-old

neighbor of

Tàrrega

(Lleida), who died two hours after receiving a dose of

AstraZeneca

, although the indications suggest that there is no relationship cause-effect with the vaccine.

As reported today by the newspaper

Segre

and sources from the Department of Health have confirmed, the man

died on Wednesday of last week

, two hours after he went to get the first dose of the

AstraZeneca

vaccine

.

"It is a case that is under investigation but, for now, with the data collected so

far there is no cause-effect relationship with the vaccine,

" said sources from the Department of Health, who, following the protocols, have communicated the case to pharmacovigilance services of the Spanish Medicines Agency.

A niece of the deceased has shared a message on social networks in which he explains that he

was a "healthy and athletic" man

and that, in just over an hour after being vaccinated, he lost his life.

"I do not believe in coincidences, I do believe in facts. I am angry because they tell us that they are isolated cases, but I would invite all the members of the

EMA

and their families to set an example and take AstraZeneca and see if they tell us that they are isolated cases. "wrote the niece.

The relative reproaches: "they are not ashamed", and appreciates the support received by dozens of messages received as a result of their complaint on social networks.

The

European Medicines Agency

(EMA) yesterday confirmed a "possible link" of AstraZeneca with the unusual cases of blood clotting reported in some people who received this vaccine, but considers that its benefits continue to outweigh the risk of side effects.

The

EMA Safety Committee

(PRAC) considers that "unusual" blood clots with low platelets "should be included as very rare side effects" of the vaccine.
